I loved Katamari

Friday afternoon is a good time at E3. The crowds have thinned out, making it easier to get hands on time with the games, while the demob happy stand stuff fling freebies out in a desperate last attempt to get a business card. So it was today that I finally managed to get a satisfying ten minutes on We Love Katamari – the sequel to the cult classic Katamari Damacy. The roll-em-up was as engagingly bizarre as ever, with the 2-player co-op a genius inclusion. The Katamari on Namco's stand was looking pretty good too – see piccie - although most attendees were distracted by the booth babes, of which there seemed to be even more this year. I'd love to know what they are thinking when they stand there posing with rapidly perspiring writers from GameHickOnline. Probably not, "I'd love to play that new Katamari game".
